A few days ago, Tesla CEO Musk said in an interview with the robotic scientist Fredman that the Tesla robot is not just a humanoid robot that can complete repetitive tasks. It may have its own personality and become a human partner. Of course, it does not. Clearly disclosed the listing arrangements for Tesla robots, but said that a good prototype product will be developed before the end of next year.
As a technology company, robots are also within Tesla’s research area. In a recent interview, Musk also revealed the progress of Tesla’s humanoid robot research. It is reported that in the Tesla AI Day, Musk announced the Tesla humanoid robot, which is about 1.75 meters tall and weighs 56 kg. It is made of lightweight materials and looks smoother than human skin.
Musk said that the robot shares the AI system of Tesla cars. Musk believes that it makes sense to put the supercomputer that helps train cars to navigate the streets of the city without human assistance in a humanoid form. At the same time, there is a screen on the robot’s face that displays specific information.
It also has hands with human activity levels, and the limbs are controlled by 40 electromechanical actuators. Both feet can sense and feedback, achieve balance and agile movements, and can run up to 8 km/h. The self-driving camera will basically serve as the vision system of the Tesla robot, and the fully self-driving computer will serve as the internal organ of the robot.
And, like a humanoid robot that can complete repetitive tasks, it helps solve the problem of labor shortage. Asked in the interview whether to consider letting Tesla robots become human partners, Musk said, There are unlimited possibilities, and it will be very meaningful to develop humanoid robots that can help humans.
